On occasion, I will see a thread title with the screen name underneath it, then to the right of that, there will be several gold or yellow stars. I don't remember seeing this very often, but I was wondering what this denotes and, at what point are the stars put there?

Ive noticed it too. May have to ask Ginga bout this one. I dont bother with it.

I do remember a member, Gun Runner, I believe asked about a thread rating system a few weeks ago. I thot it was a bad idea to be quite honest. But I started noticing the stars around the time of that thread..

Silly boys, those are the threads going directly to Media Matters and the Obama White House. I had one by a thread I started and....what? What are you talking about? Sorry, the wife said a black limo came into the driveway... Anyway, those little mar......Who's at the door? ..What chopper and floodlight? ...Of course they need a search warrant, no they can't come in..........Get out of my house........let go of m()(&*)*E)hjl;;lhj;lagiuopudlfhnhjl;nkl;dkru;lj;ld f;;j jkd...NO NOT THE TASER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **+_&&+^(^)&ouii:u{j:lkjhgoi&ltygh>j<glkuyujljkglkjhpjkuljk:liuikj:lkj [;please my VO.......:bleh:

The stars represent thread ratings. In most of our forums, the ability to rate threads is not activated, but the ability is turned on in a few forums. I honestly didn't realize that it was activated in any of our forums. Apparently when our forums were built, the thread rating option was activated on a few forums, whether accidentally or on purpose I don't know.

You can rate a thread (where available) by selecting a number of stars at the top right-hand corner of the first post of that thread. It may actually be the first post on each page displayed, but I don't remember off hand.

JLA, I think Gun Runner was asking about rating members, not threads.

Ah, well if thats the case id consider it an even worse idea than rating threads.
